1961: The movie "The Misfits," starring Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift, and directed by John Huston, premieres in theaters. The movie would end up being the last for both Gable, who suffered a heart attack two days after filming ended and died 10 days later, and Monroe, who would die of an apparent drug overdose within a year and a half.
